Goes without saying, Terry, although it doesn't mean we don't ask for something more specific, and that the two may not coincide. (Gethsemane?) In fact, the below is right in line with what I have said. It is the same as saying, or having the attitude: God, it just may be that what I am asking for is no good, in which case I am leaving it in your hands and trusting you right now to do something else. I think David believes that if we are spiritually mature, this situation never arises. We always know. It is part of the perfection thing, I think.

Maybe you should consider praying as He taught us to pray, "Your will be done"

I'm not talking about stubbornness or unbelief. I was trying to say that I do not have to agonize about whether I am always asking God for the "right" thing. If I ask him for something sincerely in the mistaken belief that it is good, I can trust that he will do what is best in the situation and will continue to take care of me. Would you agree? To make that point I borrowed the metaphor from the passage. Whatever God does is "bread". Let's allow ourselves a little poetry sometimes.
